    Headlight Modulator

    I thought I would give everyone an update, I installed a modulator. I am "all in" on these as a safety device. You can tell from the reactions of traffic around me that they are taking notice of me...just as I hoped. I can't help but feel that it is getting the attention of some percentage of...

    Cheap N Easy - Action Packet Compartmentalization

    Very practical, simple, inexpensive and useful idea/execution. Action Packers are not sexy enough to get much positive run on this forum and detractors are quick to point out their shortcomings. Detractors aside, there are a great many of us who rely on $25 Action Packers instead of $250...

    Scan Guage vs. Ultra Guage?

    I have a ScanGaugeII on my 99 Cherokee XJ. It will not show oil pressure or do any trans monitoring.

    Gallant Service

    No, I don't know which DRMO will be disposing of them. They were not yet "de-mil'd" when I saw them. I believe removal of the lighting is the only de-mil required.

    Gallant Service

    Here's a photo of a few heroic veterans returning from many years of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. These warriors are from a Special Operations unit and have seen many hostile miles in terribly hostile territory. All fifteen are gasoline models.

    Isuzu 3.2 vs 3.5

    It's very well documented that the 3.2 and 3.5 Isuzus are ravenous consumers of oil. In my research the issue seems to be worse with the 3.2l engines. Several years ago I contemplated a buying a Trooper. I liked the way they drove and the interior space but just couldn't find a good truck...

    Headlight Modulator

    I appreciate everyone's thoughts and inputs on modulators. After careful consideration I have decided to purchase and install one. I am intrigued with the idea of being more visible to inattentive drivers. Redlines advice to develop superior handling and anticipation skills is spot on but is...

    Headlight Modulator

    Sounds like you were satisfied. What unit did you use? Was your bike a dual lamp or dual element? I have been running an LED tail light/brake light that flashes five bright pulses before it holds too. It throws more light than the sealed bulb it replaced, I feel good about it bringing up my...

    Headlight Modulator

    I'm considering installing a headlight modulator. Being safe means being seen and I keep myself and my gear reflectorized and brightly colored for that purpose. I regularly see a Goldwing with modulating headlight on my morning commute and have observed him regularly get a rearview mirror...

    Used Icon FJ45

    Reign in that ire...not what I was gettin' at. I'm saying everyone assigns his own value to his own dollars whether he's in the newspaper business or not. You may feel ICON value is valid, others may not. If you let your ire raise over an individuals opinion, you invite someone elses ire to...

    Used Icon FJ45

    Here we go again To trot out the same old defense against peoples opinion of a products pricing, be it for Icon, Earthroamer, Viking shackle or $600 camp chair, really only addresses half the issue. I am not an economist but I did stay awake during a few courses in the 90's. People have...

    Building a 2008 Kawasaki KLR650 for Overland Travel!

    I got the risers from KLRDASH.com. I see that HT has released a version that they developed too but I have never seen them up close. I guess I am the typical stingey KLR owner because the Happy Trails riser, though fairly priced, was a little too rich for my blood compared to Lonny's risers at...

    Building a 2008 Kawasaki KLR650 for Overland Travel!

    TACODOC, it was great reviewing your thread again. I'm glad you're still enjoying your KLR. I am in love with my gen II as well. That thing does everything I ask of it. I especially get a kick out of the detracters who criticize the "plastic" or the supposed heaviness compared to Gen 1s...

    Top 10 Used Overland Vehicles: Do you agree?

    Support infrastructure for the Trooper platform in Europe, Baltics and NW Africa is available through Opel. I'm not sure how many years Opel marketed the rebadged Trooper but you still see some on the road. This platform still wouldn't be one of my choices domestically or abroad. In the past...

    Smittybuilt Element Ramps

    Absolutely agree Brian. Will you contribute the data you have that confirms Elements are multi-port injection molded and the made in the same factory as the previous generation ramps marketed to South America? That would be a good addition to the documentation.
